"I don't like it because it's not liberal like the rest."
- ascendantlogic 10y agoThey have a very obvious contrarian tone. It has nothing to do with being liberal or conservative. Having read Zero Hedge for years now the "doom and gloom" assessment is not incorrect nor is it a partisan observation.
- manishsharan 10y agoThe problem with ZeroHedge is not its political point of view or contrarianism. Its biggest sin is that they bury financial topics under political topics.
- mmastrac 10y agoI read Zerohedge from time-to-time. The problem isn't that it isn't liberal - it's that the comment section is utterly and shamelessly racist and antisemitic and the articles have been pandering to this lately. I'm not exaggerating either: the comment sections are without a doubt one of the most horrible places on the internet that isn't a dark corner.
- ascendantlogic 10y agoYeah, my readership of that site has gone down dramatically as it has passed the point of "contrarianism" into "outright insanity".
- ipnon 10y agoA little birdie on a certain American anime imageboard once told me that Zero Hedge receives financial support from the Chinese government as a way to destabilize American markets. The idea is that they get disenchanted Wall Street types to buy into bogus gloom and doom stories posted there, and then they proceed to make irrational buys and sells. I didn't believe them at the time but it occurs to me now that Russia funding a project like Zero Hedge is well within the realm of plausibility.
- seppin 10y agoDefine liberal in this context.
